Instructor: Colleen Prosise
Cost: $35
Sessions: 2 - 4/17th & 4/24th

This class will guide you in creating a Crazy Quilt project of your choice. Maybe a wall hanging, pillow, or perhaps a framed project. You will learn the basic techniques by using a fabric foundation on which to build your project. You should be able to leave the first class with a nearly completed foundation and the information necessary to accomplish some homework on the project before the final class. While this class will teach the process of embellishing the project by hand, the quilt may also be embellished by machine, using all those fancy, special stitches that your machine may have. If you will be using the later method for finishing your creation, you will not need the hand sewing supplies, floss, or hoop.
